Positive Pakistanis: Ageless charity

"The rich pay Zakat on wealth but I pay Zakat on my health as well." It was one of the favorite sayings Muhammad Ali Abbas. A philanthropist and retired Major of the Pakistani army, he believed every word he said.

In 1987, when he was 66, he walked through the 2.500 km burning heat of the Arabian Peninsula to perform Hajj and raise money for a charity hospital in Karachi. At 77, he plunged the sky from a height of 10,500 feet to raise funds for "support of a child, save the nation" project, aimed at eradicating child labor in Pakistan, India and Bangladesh.When he was nearly 82, he walked 100 km in Canada in Mississauga Whitby ... All to raise money for a home for the elderly. No wonder he earned the nickname of "charity volunteer Walker from Pakistan."

It was at the venerable age of 72 years, when most people are in their retreat that Mr. Abbas and his wife Begum Sarwar Jahan began what would become the crowning achievement of his life. It was the Muslim Welfare Centre (MWC) in Ontario, Canada. Starting with a tiny room and an interest-free loan (CAD) $ 14,000 that he and his first wife set up a bank of halal food for the needy.

"It was a miracle of Allah, it was a golden opportunity to fulfill our longing to serve humanity. We jumped into the fray with the banner "service to humanity is service to Allah." We started to provide groceries to the needy, regardless of their religion, nationality, caste or creed. Within a couple of years, we were not only able to clear the loan, but when we looked at our bank balance, it had climbed to $ 80 000, "wrote Maj. Abbas, recalling the early days its organization and the generosity of the community.

Their tireless efforts helped by volunteers and donations, the CMM has begun to take on the causes of growing. In 1996, they established the Muslim Welfare Home, a shelter for destitute women and children, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with a full-time staff on duty. To date, over 3500 single women and mothers with their children, regardless of their background, have taken advantage of this shelter. The CMM has also launched a free medical clinic in Toronto for those who have no health coverage.

Today, the CMM is the operation of four halal food banks in Ontario and Montreal, serving more than 6,500 needy families on a monthly basis. In addition, the CMM is on halal meals at home, the distribution of about 350 lunch packs for homeless people in downtown Toronto on Saturday, warm clothing and blankets are also distributed during the winter to help the homeless survive sub-zero temperatures.
